Dying Street Dog Gets the Rescue of a Lifetime

When Toffee was found in a gutter in India, he was in some of the worst conditions that rescuers had seen. He absolutely reeked and was covered in maggots. Now he has made a wonderful recovery and is receiving all the love and care he could ever hope for.

Rescuers at Animal Aid Unlimited say that when someone called them about Toffee, the sickly dog probably only had a couple more days of life left in him. The nonprofit group, who takes in all sorts of street animals, rushed to help.

Much of his fur was missing due to illness (likely mange). The poor, smelly thing was loaded with maggots and had collapsed from exhaustion and hunger. He was given food and cleaned up, and had fur trimmed away from wounds.

Three weeks later, and Toffee was a completely changed dog! He could run and scamper about with other rescued dogs, and cool off in a dirt pit he’d dug out for himself.

The rescuers at Animal Aid Unlimited are dedicated to saving the life of every mistreated, sick, and homeless animal they can, but they can’t do it alone. If you would like to keep them going and save the lives of more dogs like Toffee, please click here to donate.

Welcome to the human race, evil. Tell me one species that treat their own kind like this? Thats right …yet low life-form maggots called humans treat animals and people with disgust and disdain and cruelty…make me ashamed to be human..
And for those who don’t know there one of these in most streets in India as they’d prefer to better themselves and don’t want to help animals else be called a commoner..:O
a joke some of you are.., we’ll there’s a place prepared for the devil and his angels, i guess there’s a few spare rooms for the like of these spiritless people too..good work to the rescuers, now go and educate these uneducated careless excuse for a human owners (yes, they probably WERE pets once..) .
Sad..but a reality of how we increase our knowledge and science and throw away our humanity for each other and the rest of creation.
